Abstract
A method comprising: treating a surface to change a surface energy of the surface, in dependence on at least one first parameter value of respectively at least one surface treatment control parameter which provides a surface treatment environment for treating the surface. The method further comprises: applying a first liquid part on a first area of the surface, the first liquid part having a meniscus with an edge contacting the surface; determining a first contact angle; determining, based on the first contact angle, at least one second parameter value of respectively the at least one surface treatment control parameter; and changing the at least one surface treatment control parameter based on the at least one second parameter value.
